Created in 2004 by two French doctors, Professor Bruno Dubois, neurologist specializing in Alzheimer's disease and Doctor Olivier de Ladoucette, psychiatrist and geriatrician, the Fondation Recherche Alzheimer is located at the heart of the Piti茅-Salp锚tri猫re Hospital Group.

Professor Nick听Fox听is an Honorary Consultant Neurologist at the National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery (果冻影院H), Professor of Clinical Neurology and Director of the Dementia Research Centre at the 果冻影院 Queen Square Institute of Neurology. Nick听Fox听earned his first degree in Physics and Physiology before moving into medicine and majoring in cognitive neurology.

His research focuses on the early diagnosis and study of the progression of neurodegenerative dementias as well as biomarkers for testing听potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related syndromes.

He pioneered innovative methods for using MRI to study the progression of Alzheimer's disease and its early diagnosis.听The atrophy measures he developed are now widely used in clinical trials.听He also has a long-standing interest in longitudinal clinical and imaging studies in familial dementias. This is a frame of听reference in the development of large cohorts and clinical trials such as听Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and听Dominant Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN).听He has also applied these methods to pathologies related to Alzheimer's (semantic dementia and fronto-temporal dementia).

With this Grand Prix, he proposes to validate a rapid protocol (5 minutes instead of 20 to 30 minutes) which would allow the diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease and related diseases with the same precision.

In parallel to his research activity he remains personally very active with patients, as director of a renowned specialist centre on cognitive pathologies, as well as involvement in dementia research charities.

"I want to warmly congratulate Nick on this very major achievement. It recognises his continuous and major contributions to dementia research. His work has been central to developing imaging biomarker methods now used throughout the world to track dementia and which 听are central to clinical trials. He leads a world class research group based at the 果冻影院 Queen Square Institute of Neurology鈥� Professor Michael Hanna, Director, 果冻影院 Queen Square Institute of Neurology
